    double chocolate brownie mix in a jar

    For all your chocolate loving friends…give them one of these 🙂

    Coming up with a holiday gift idea for everyone on your list can be a challenge sometimes, but who wouldn’t enjoy food in a jar? In my opinion, the best and most practical gifts are those that can be eaten. So stop stressing about all the gifts you have to get this holiday season and start mixing!

    Baking mixes gifted in mason jars are always well received. They are also an inexpensive way to give simple, not to mention tasty, gifts to those people in your life that you want to thank this holiday season.

    I love gifting brownie mixes during the busy holiday season to add variety to the typical cookie recipes people usually receive. Family and friends can whip these ingredients together for a yummy dessert after a long day of shopping and errands or save them until after New Year’s Day when they’re ready to splurge on a delicious treat.

    Here’s my favorite recipe for brownies in a jar:

      You really need to state when there is participation required when you post a link. I clicked to get the recipe/instructions for the brownie mix in a jar … not get signed up for MORE e-mail and teeth whitening stuff.

      For anyone else who has just discovered this recipe as I did — I tested it and it will definitely go in a 9×13 pan.
